PhD in Nanoscience and Advanced Materials at Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC), under supervision of Prof. André Sarto Polo. She was a research intern at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, under supervision of Prof. Gerald J. Meyer. BSc in Science and Technology (2014), BSc in Chemistry (2015) and MSc in Nanoscience and Advanced Materials (2017) at UFABC. The main research interest is the investigation of systems for solar-to-electrical or solar-to-chemical energy conversion employing Ru(II) and Re(I) coordinarion compounds. These systems are I) Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) or II) the production of solar fuels by artificial photosynthesis, in solution or using photoelectrodes. The main tools employed for these investigations are the synthesis and characterization of Ru(II) and Re(I) polypyridyl complexes and the use of spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques to understand the the photophysics, photochemistry and dynamics of electron transfer in these systems. Physical-chemical approaches aim to establish relationships between changes in the molecular structures of the compounds, their properties and the performance of the energy conversion systems.

Coordination compounds are suitable for their use in solar energy conversion and storage due to the possibility of incorporating different ligands into metal centers to modify their light absorption, redox and reactivity properties and to form subunits with specific functionalities. Ru(II) polypyridyl compounds are extensively investigated to convert solar energy to electrical energy in D…
Ruthenium(II) polypyridyl compounds have characteristics such as their wide and intense absorption in the visible region of the spectrum, which favor their use in solar energy conversion processes. Molecular engineering that involves the use of suitable ligands allows the tuning of the energy levels of these compounds in order to perform useful functions more efficiently. Ruthenium(II) tr…
In the past decades, the oxidation of organic compounds has attracted many studies, this being one of the most attractive areas of modern chemistry. This type of reaction leads to obtaining products with wide application in the pharmaceutical, plastics, and fragrances industry, such as alcohols, ketones, and epoxides. Therefore, various studies have been conducted to develop new active an…
Due to its versatility and unique combination of properties, Ru(II) and Re(I) polypyridyl compounds have been widely employed in sunlight conversion systems, such as Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) or for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The efficiency of these systems strongly depends on the molecular structure of the coordination compound and the relative rates of each of the several el…
